Looking to upgrade my chainset.
Not sure what the mega exo means or English thread but will an FSA chainset with BB30 sealed bottom bracket with English Thread, fit my cannondale supersix? It has a bb30 bottom bracket!

Thanks

    BB 30 does not have any threads so the info about the chain set and BB is totally incorrect.

    The FSA Mega EXO stuff is their 24mm crank, so usually English Thread a bit like Shimano Hollowtech II.

    BB30 is a 30mm crank that is press fit (either BB30 or PF30) so no threads.

    Have a read of this article to get a bit of background :-

    Some people prefer threads, BB30 can start to make noises, but can easily be cured normally by cleaning it out, re-greasing and putting back. I suspect your SuperSix is BB30 either BB30 or PF30 bearings only.
